Clemson defeated Wake
Forest 61-53 on Saturday to move to 13-4 overall, 4-1 in the ACC.

It marks Clemson's best
start to open ACC play since the 1996-97 team began with a 5-0 record.

Clemson matched its win
total from all of last season with Saturday's win.

The 61-53 win was Clemson's
fifth straight in the series with Wake Forest, and fourth straight in
Littlejohn Coliseum as well.

This is the fourth time
Clemson has had a team start the ACC regular season with at least a 4-1
record. The other seasons were 1986-87, 1989-90 and 1996-97.

Saturday's win was
Clemson's 499th in Littlejohn Coliseum history. The Tigers will
have a chance to win game No. 500 inside the facility that opened in 1968
with a victory over Georgia Tech. Clemson's next opponent is Georgia Tech.

Over the last three games,
Clemson's opponents are just 5-for-27 from the field inside the final five
minutes. For the season, opponents are shooting just 4-of-44 (.091) from
three-point range in the final five minutes.

Clemson blocked 10 shots
Saturday, the third time this season the Tigers have recorded double digit
blocks (South Carolina, Temple).

The Tigers made 18-of-21
free throws Saturday. The 85.7 percent figure was Clemson's best against
an ACC team (min. 10 attempts) since the Tigers made 18-of-20 (.900) at
Florida State last season.

INDIVIDUAL

K.J. McDaniels posted his
team-leading fourth double-double of the season. He finished with 15
points and 12 rebounds.

McDaniels' 12 rebounds
Saturday were a career-high. His previous high was 11 earlier this season
at Arkansas.

McDaniels blocked four
shots Saturday, upping his streak of consecutive games with at least one
block to nine in a row.

McDaniels now has 126
career blocked shots, tying him for eighth on Clemson's all-time list with
John "Moose" Campbell.

Jordan Roper reached double
figures for the seventh time this season and 18th time in his
career.

Ibrahim Djambo made his
first three-pointer since Nov. 29 against Coastal Carolina. The junior
forward drained his first attempt from the top of the key.

Djambo finished with
multiple threes in a game for the first time this season. He was 0-for-8
since that Coastal Carolina game from long distance.

Landry Nnoko scored eight
and now has 97 points on the season, over three times as many as he had
(31) in 2012-13.
